When you think of conflicts, do you think of people fighting or would you think of a slimy amphibian with HUGE eyes and arms and legs paddling its way over to you, about to kill you....! Well this is one of the extrodinary scenes that are occuring in the Hobbit. Could you imagine running for your life, like Bilbo away from Gollum! Although Bilbo gets lucky enough to have the magic ring in his pocket (or as Gollum would say "whats hes got in his pockets preciousssss?"). I think he would be terrified to ever go in a cave ever again! Tolkien keeps us turning the pages with is mystery and fun. In this scene, Tolkien keeps the action coming! He even has Bilbo Jump over Gollum! (ch.5)
This was a good conflict! There were so many to choose from! The conflict between these two is very intense. I like your description. What kind of conflict was this from my examples?
